The result marks just the fourth point the Loons have earned away from home this season as they begin a five-match road trip. Minnesota currently sit in eighth in the West, six points beneath the playoff line with 10 matches remaining.

Three Things

THE BIG PICTURE: Just as the Galaxy appeared to be nearing full health, both Alessandrini and Giovani dos Santos were forced out of Saturday's action by halftime with leg injuries. The timing is particularly poor considering LA play again Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Loons desperately need to improve upon their road form over the next few weeks to maintain playoff hopes. This might build some confidence to that end.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH: In a game that lacked direction at times, it was an incisive attack (with a Galaxy claim of potential offsides) that put Minnesota level for good. Ibson spotted Abu Danladi's run wide right, and Danladi's cross put Ibarra in perfect position to hammer his finish into the roof of the net.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't score in his return from suspension. But his play as a withdrawn forward in the first half gave Minnesota fits, led to an assist on Alessandrini's opener, and helped create a flurry of other chances his teammates should've finished. He also believed he'd induced Miguel Ibarra into a penalty-worthy foul at the death, but referee Baldomero Toledo declined to take a second look after consulting with VAR Rosendo Mendoza.
